ASTER WOKE UP with her phone still in her hand the next morning.

The sun had just barely risen, shining a golden hue through the cracks in the blinds. She awoke to a pillow being thrown at her, rolling over and squinting at the culprit.

Michelle was standing at the foot of her bed, already dressed in her Decathlon uniform. "You should probably get up and get ready. The Decathlon is soon."

Rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand, Aster watched Michelle walk to the bathroom. She glanced at the time, making a face at how early it was. "Do you even sleep?"

"Nope."

Unlocking her phone, Aster scrolled through dozens of messages from Peter. And surprisingly, some were from Tony too.
